Domaine Tollot-Beaut et Fils
ドメーヌ・トロ＝ボー・エ・フィス
Chorey-lès-Beaune's iconic estate with two monopoles and nearly a century of estate-bottling tradition
A five-generation family estate spanning 24 hectares across Chorey-lès-Beaune, Savigny-lès-Beaune, Aloxe-Corton, and Beaune. Founded in the early 20th century, Tollot-Beaut was among the first Burgundian estates to bottle its own wines (from 1921). The domaine practices lutte raisonnée, favors old Pinot Fin vines, and is known for its two monopoles: Savigny-lès-Beaune Champs-Chevrey and Chorey-lès-Beaune Pièce du Chapitre. Managed by cousins Nathalie, Jean-Paul, and Olivier Tollot.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What are Tollot-Beaut's two monopoles?
- Savigny-lès-Beaune 1er Cru Champs-Chevrey is their most prestigious holding, a 3.4-hectare monopole producing structured, age-worthy Pinot Noir. Chorey-lès-Beaune Pièce du Chapitre is a village-level monopole offering excellent everyday drinking.
- Does Tollot-Beaut make Corton-Charlemagne?
- Yes — Tollot-Beaut produces a small quantity of Corton-Charlemagne Grand Cru from their Aloxe-Corton holdings, alongside a highly regarded Corton-Bressandes Grand Cru rouge, making them one of the rare estates producing both red and white grands crus from the Corton hill.
- Are Tollot-Beaut wines suitable for aging?
- Yes, their wines possess excellent aging potential, particularly the Corton Grand Cru and Premier Cru bottlings, which develop complex tertiary aromas over time, while village and Bourgogne-level wines are approachable earlier.
- Do Tollot-Beaut wines pair well with Japanese cuisine?
- Yes, the elegance and moderate acidity of their Pinot Noir make it an excellent match for Japanese dishes such as grilled fish, soy-sauce-based simmered dishes, and Wagyu beef.
- What is the winemaking philosophy at Domaine Tollot-Beaut?
- The estate favors low yields, hand harvesting, and lutte raisonnée (reasoned, low-intervention viticulture) with old Pinot Fin vines, aiming for pure, vibrant fruit expression balanced by structure typical of the Côte de Beaune.
